[Intro – ancient Irish folk vocal, almost whispered] When Halloween moon is shining bright, A little green devil walks through the night. He follows the women with hair like gold… And steals their thoughts before they’re old. Ooooh… [Build – beat slowly enters] Lock your doors… Dim the light… Don’t let him see you… Don’t let him inside… One thought… One thought… One thought at a time… [DROP] Run, golden girl, run! He’s coming through the night! Run, golden girl, run! Don’t let him steal your mind! He doesn’t want your money, He doesn’t want your gold, He wants the little thoughts That live inside your soul! [House Chorus] One thought at a time! One thought at a time! He takes your sanity, He takes your mind! One thought at a time! Under the Halloween moon! By the time the morning comes… There’ll be nothing left of you! [Verse – Irish storytelling vocal] He’ll tap upon your window, Then disappear from sight. You’ll hear him laughing softly At the dead of night. He’ll whisper from the darkness, He’ll follow where you go. And every little secret Is something he will know. [Build] Can you hear him? Tap… tap… tap… Can you see him? No… He’s behind you… DON’T LOOK! [DROP] RUN! Golden hair! Golden eyes! Dancing underneath the blood-red sky! Run, golden girl! Run tonight! The leprechaun is hunting In the moonlight! [Breakdown – eerie female vocal] One thought for the leprechaun… Two thoughts for the night… Three thoughts for the darkness… Gone by morning light… [Final Drop – full house] ONE! TWO! THREE! HE’S TAKING YOUR MIND! One thought at a time! One thought at a time! One thought at a time! Ha… ha… ha… [Outro – whispered Irish folk vocal] When Halloween moon begins to fade… Another golden girl has been made… Empty-headed… Golden-haired… And he’s still out there…
